Cervical root resorptions always present with one or several portals of entry. When the size of this or these portals of entry are large and communicate with the alveolar bone, a surgical approach is recommended. It consists in raising a flap, removing the granulation tissue, severing the vascularization in order to stop the progression of the resorptive process, and restore the dentinal defect.
This presentation will address the biologocal mechanisms of root resorptions and describe step by step the surgical management of cervical root resorptions.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the mechanisms leading to cervical root resorptions
Describe when to choose between the internal approach and the surgcial management of cervical root resorptions
